The next six months will be crucial in the development of TSX-listed Meadow Bay Gold (TSE:MAY), which is already starting to attract the attention of some of the sector's largest operators.

With the benefit of hindsight, YES.

[notanewmember2] 03/5/2011 22:20

Should the equities be sold this May?

[rochdale] 22/3/2011 09:32

didnt look at the accounts in detail I am afraid - I am hoping that this is a regular divi though

[gsands] 18/3/2011 00:17

I can confirm that I received a 24p dividend too.

Has anyone read the last set of accounts to discover how they've been able to achieve this and what the frequency is likely to be?

[rochdale] 28/2/2011 14:57

quarterly! six monthly would do me - would still be good if there was a market in them

[orchestralis] 27/2/2011 10:47

I'd be happy if they start paying quarterly divis again at 0.24p a shot.

[rochdale] 22/2/2011 09:43

divi - yes - any idea if there is any market for these shares?

[helpaargh] 18/2/2011 13:59

Me also. Thanks to Dean etc for keeping us updated.

[orchestralis] 18/2/2011 13:02

I received 0.24p dividend on 04 Feb. Very happy to be getting a divi.

[deanforester] 11/2/2011 17:07

It was 24p, see

I don't hold them now.

[helpaargh] 11/2/2011 15:17

Dean, can you tell us where you saw that, any idea how much and when paid? I am still a holder

[deanforester] 11/2/2011 15:04

It appears that there has been a dividend payment.

[rochdale] 10/12/2010 13:27

thanks for these GSANDS

Mapeley keeps Microsoft in Reading

Software giant will stay at Thames Valley Office Park for 25% discount

Article posted: 05 Oct 2010

Microsoft has been persuaded to stay at Mapeley's Thames Valley Park in Reading, but only after negotiating a 25% discount on rents.

The software giant has 246,000 sq ft of offices in Reading and had chosen to exercise a break option three months ago but Mapeley was obviously reluctant to lose such a significant occupier and entered into negotiations with their tenant which resulted in a successful outcome for both parties.

Reading is already oversupplied so Mapeley will be hugely relieved at not being left with 246,000 sq ft of vacant space. Microsoft's new lease includes 14 months rent free spread over six years and equates to an overall discount of just under 25%. Their previous rent was £30 per sq ft which has now been reduced to £23 per sq ft, a total of £5.66m a year.

Rent reviews will take place after five and ten years with rent increases of between 2 and 5% but there will be no break option during the fifteen year lease. Microsoft stands to save almost £30m over the fifteen year term.

Mapeley acquired the properties in 2005 for £104.3 million from a joint venture between British Land and the Teachers Insurance & Annuity Association of America.

Thames Valley Park is home to the likes of Computacenter, ING Direct, Oracle, Regus and Xansa. It is a highly sought after business location offering offices to let in Reading, idyllically located on the banks of the River Thames.

same here - got them in a nominee account - think I will transfer them out and get a certificate so I get the annual report etc..

any idea of how things are going since delisting?

intrigued as to whether we will see dividends

[rochdale] 30/9/2009 12:12

anyone still holding this delisted stock?

[nashwan123] 24/4/2009 22:17

Even as a PLC Mapeley were a dodgy company. Offshore accounts, paying little or no UK tax on their vast business with Inland Revenue of all people! The dividends were apparently not as much as they could have been owing to more accounting trickery. They were levearged up to the hilt and effectively bankrupt.Fortress must have forced a decison to delist them in an attempt to stave off liquidation. More seriously they are probably more concerned about having to open their books to scrutiny. A company supported by Brown and the banks that are symptomatic of New Labour and cronism in the CITY for which us mugs (taxpayers) will one again pay. IMHO -Good evening.

Shareholders still own their share, but those shares can no longer be traded on the LSE.

[losses] 20/4/2009 10:09

so what happens to shareholders money when the comany delists?
